Part of our Admin & Front Office agents
AI agents for admin and office teams in architecture firms
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your practice already uses, from sorting the shared mailbox by hand to an agent routing each message and drafting the replies for approval.
Office teams get back the hours lost to inbox sorting, diary tennis, and renewal dates.

- A mailbox that sorts itselfEvery message reaches the person who owns it, and enquiries go straight to whoever logs new work.
- Meetings booked without email tennisConsultants, clients and the team find one time that works, with the right link or room.
- Site visits that run smoothlyAccess, induction and PPE are arranged before the architect arrives at the gate.
- Print and post that arrives on timePlot runs, tender sets and couriers are ordered and tracked, not chased by the front desk.
- Licences and certificates never lapseLicences, insurance and accreditation dates are watched, so a renewal is never a surprise.
- An office people forget to worry aboutThe practice runs quietly. These are examples; build any agent your office needs.
And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..
An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Architecture Firms Admin and Office team's day.
Where the hours go
The shared mailbox swallows the front desk's morning, because every message has to be read, judged and forwarded by hand, and the supplier mail buries the one thing a director needed to see.
An agent reads each message, works out who owns it, passes new-project enquiries straight to the enquiry log, and drafts replies for approval, so the desk starts the day with a sorted queue.
Booking a structural engineer, a client and two architects turns into a chain of emails that eats an afternoon, and a site visit still falls through because nobody arranged the induction.
An agent finds the slot across every calendar, drafts the invite with the right link or room, and prepares the access and induction request, with each outgoing message waiting for approval.
Software licences, insurance certificates and subscriptions renew on dates nobody is watching, so the practice either pays for licences nobody uses or finds out about a lapse the day a client asks.
An agent keeps every renewal date in one sheet, checks licence usage against sign-ins, and drafts the reminder or quote request for a director to decide on well ahead of the date.
A tender deadline arrives and the print run, covering letter and courier are all arranged in a rush the afternoon before, by whoever happens to be in the office.
An agent works backwards from the submission date, drafts the print order and courier booking, and checks each item off so the bundle is ready with time to spare.

- Front desk150 min / weekSorting the shared mailbox by hand

You stay in control
An agent that reads the practice mailbox and diary only earns trust if you stay in control. Actionist shows you what it read and did, asks before it writes outside the practice, and keeps every decision with your people.
Replies, meeting invites to external guests and requests to suppliers are drafted and queued for the office manager. Nothing leaves the practice unless you widen that autonomy yourself.
The agent proposes who should handle each message and shows its reason. When it is unsure, it asks, and your corrections shape how it routes the next one.
The agent prepares renewal quotes, account tickets and orders. Whether a licence is bought, a person gets access or an order is placed remains a decision for a director or the office manager.
Each run is logged step by step with screenshots, and personal data in the mailbox stays under your control, so you can always see what was read and what was changed.
